Eggless Banana Streusel Cake

Again I am irregular in my blog postings, want to do at least 3 posts per week, but I am hardly doing two, something or the other comes up and the blog takes a back seat. I had made this Banana Streusel Cake, almost a month back, as usual had a bunch of overripe bananas and wanted to do something with it, other than the banana bread. Streusel Cake had always been on the do list, I love the crunchy and crumbly topping on the cake, we can have any type of cake for the base, since I had bananas lying around, I decided to do a Banana Streusel Cake..Need To Have

Whole Wheat Flour - 1/2 cup

All Purpose Flour - 1/2 cup

Baking Soda - 1/2 teaspoon

Baking Powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Chia Seeds Powder - 1 tablespoon

Unsalted Butter - 2 tablespoons

Vegetable Oil - 2 tablespoons

Sugar - 1/2 cup

Vanilla Extract - 1/2 teaspoon

Bananas - 2 medium sized, mashed

Chopped Walnuts - 1/4 cup

Milk - 4 tablespoons

Salt - 1/8 teaspoon

For The Topping

All Purpose Flour - 2 tablespoons

Butter - 1 tablespoon

Sugar - 2 tablespoons

Cinnamon Powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Brown Sugar - 2 tablespoons

Walnuts - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Method

Soak the chia seeds powder in 3 tablespoons of water and leave it for 10 minutes. Take the oil, butter, soaked chia seeds, mashed bananas, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and milk, mix them well. Sift both the flours, baking soda and baking powder. Add it to the wet ingredients and mix it well.

Add the walnuts dusted with some flour and mix.

Now take all the ingredients for the topping and mix it up as shown in the picture.

Pour the cake batter in a greased pan, spread the streusel topping and bake it at 180 C for about 40 minutes. Remove, cool and slice.

Note
Usually I sift the walnuts along with the flour, it'll be dusted well with the flour and then I add it.
You can line the pan with parchment paper, it'll be easy to remove the cake.
